I know this will seem silly, but you can at least work around this by
putting a "wrapper script" some place, I suggest "$HOME/bin/uxterm-
blue.sh" or something, that contains:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
exec uxterm -sb -geometry 80x50+0+0 -sl 1000 -bg lightsteelblue3 -e
ssh -L8086:localhost:8086 lab1
Make sure it has execute permissions, then you at least have the same
functionality through a menu if you like. I'm not saying it's great,
but it's something.

Another issue with the Leopard version of X11.app that I have not
seen mentioned is the reduced functionality of the customizable
"Applications" menu. In Tiger I have a rich set of commands that I
use to launch sessions on my lab machines with a differently
colored xterm for each machine so I can easily find the window I
want. A typical command looks like:
uxterm -sb -geometry 80x50+0+0 -sl 1000 -bg lightsteelblue3 -e ssh -
L8086:localhost:8086 lab1
Under Tiger it looks like only commands with no options are
supported, such as their examples of "xman" and "xlogo". I hope
that is an oversight and will be fixed in the next release of X11.
